Video showed two men standing face-to-face at the corner when Watkins pushed the other man down. That man then pulled out a gun and shot Watkins.
Another person and the shooter, identified as Oo, then appeared to get into a black Honda Pilot and drove off. Watkins died on the sidewalk.
Police checked a vehicle that was left at the shooting scene. It was registered to an address near 45th and Lisbon, where police found the black Honda Pilot parked behind a home.
Court filings said a witness told investigators he was working on the shooter's car at 27th and State when he got into a fight with Watkins over cigarettes.
